It\u2019s the <em>becoming <\/em>that hangs me up. And when our kids are athletes, it adds a whole new wrinkle.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, I\u2019d venture to say that when our kids plays sports, we as parents will probably undergo just as much character building on our road to becoming a good sports parent as our kids do on their road to becoming good athletes.<\/p>\n<p>How can you work on <em>becoming <\/em>that good sports parent?<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Support the whole team<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Not just <em>my <\/em>kid.

That means knowing that sometimes what\u2019s best for the team may not be what I want for <em>my <\/em>child.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Learn when to keep your mouth shut<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Bite your tongue when you feel like ripping into the coach. Bite your tongue when you want to say something stupid and negative to your kid after a bad game like, \u201cum, aren\u2019t you afraid of losing your starting spot?\u201d Bite your tongue when you want to tear down your child\u2019s coach or teammates. <strong>I think it\u2019s safe to say that biting your tongue is the single most important skill a sports parent can develop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Avoid nagging and pushing; stick with help and encouragement<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Sometimes the line between encouragement and nagging gets fuzzy. We think we are encouraging and gently guiding our athletes; they think we are nagging and pushing. And it looks different in every athlete and parent relationship. You know your kid. You know what pushes their buttons. Then stop. Take a step back, and instead of pushing, offer positive encouragement.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Don\u2019t be the general sports parent<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>You know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation2021\/articles\/youth-soccer-parent-mistakes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation2021\/articles\/youth-soccer-parent-mistakes\">the type<\/a>. Always stepping in to do battle for his kid. Defending his right to playing time and position choice. Wielding a protective sword against parents, kids or coaches who don\u2019t treat his child as preciously as he does. You don\u2019t have to wait until your athletes are in high school to let them fight their own battles.<\/p>\n<p>Send them to the battlefield early in life, with lots of guidance to help them succeed.
